Last Saturday, several bags of litter were picked, mainly from along the entrance to Raymore Park and we had so much fun we decided to do it again. This Saturday, we focussed on the river’s edge near the footbridge and after that, the bush that runs along the backs of the houses on Tilden. Once more we removed a veritable trove of plastic containers, paint cans, and even found a gun stock stashed in a metal pipe along with some empty clips (which has been reported to the police).

Part of the haul of garbage and recyclables that my neighbour José (L) and I collected today.

The more we do, the more we find that it’s a big job that can’t be done in just one or two sessions.

We’re making this a regular event for a few weeks – If anyone would like to join us, meet at the Raymore Park gates at 11:00 am next Saturday, rain or shine. All welcome. You never know what we might find.

Update: a police office came quickly and examined the gun stock. It turned out to be quite old and likely  tossed out by a hobbyist. He seemed happy to be out of the office on such a nice day!
